All MSI vectors are multiplexed into a single notification vector when
posted MSI is enabled. It is the responsibility of the notification vector
handler to demultiplex MSI vectors. In the handler the MSI vector handlers
are dispatched without IDT delivery for each pending MSI interrupt.
For example, the interrupt flow will change as follows:
(3 MSIs of different vectors arrive in a a high frequency burst)
BEFORE:
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
interrupt(MSI)
irq_enter()
handler() /* EOI */
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
AFTER:
interrupt /* Posted MSI notification vector */
irq_enter()
atomic_xchg(PIR)
handler()
handler()
handler()
pi_clear_on()
apic_eoi()
irq_exit()
process_softirq()
Except for the leading MSI, CPU notifications are skipped/coalesced.
For MSIs which arrive at a low frequency, the demultiplexing loop does not
wait for more interrupts to coalesce. Therefore, there's no additional
latency other than the processing time.

Add a FRED-specific INT80 handler and document why it differs from the
current one. Eventually, the common bits will be unified once FRED hw is
available and it turns out that no further changes are needed but for
now, keep the handlers separate for everyone's sanity's sake.

Add cpu_init_fred_exceptions() to:
- Set FRED entrypoints for events happening in ring 0 and 3.
- Specify the stack level for IRQs occurred ring 0.
- Specify dedicated event stacks for #DB/NMI/#MCE/#DF.
- Enable FRED and invalidtes IDT.
- Force 32-bit system calls to use "int $0x80" only.
Add fred_complete_exception_setup() to:
- Initialize system_vectors as done for IDT systems.
- Set unused sysvec_table entries to fred_handle_spurious_interrupt().

In IRQ/NMI induced VM exits, KVM VMX needs to execute the respective
handlers, which requires the software to create a FRED stack frame,
and use it to invoke the handlers. Add fred_irq_entry_from_kvm() for
this job.
Export fred_entry_from_kvm() because VMX can be compiled as a module.

The code to actually handle kernel and event entry/exit using
FRED. It is split up into two files thus:
- entry_64_fred.S contains the actual entrypoints and exit code, and
saves and restores registers.
- entry_fred.c contains the two-level event dispatch code for FRED.
The first-level dispatch is on the event type, and the second-level
is on the event vector.
